Dragon Age 2 Rise to Power Trailer

New gameplay footage of Hawke in action -- and getting a little action.

There's a legend in Kirkwall about a guy named Hawke, and in Dragon Age 2, you'll found out first-hand how he ascended from a lowly refugee to the ultimate champion. Courtesy of BioWare, the latest trailer for the game reveals it's a rise to power you'll make with the help of some deadly friends.

Featuring new gameplay footage of Hawke in action, scenes from the Quanri invasion, and a new area of Kirkwall, the Rise to Power trailer also features the duelist pirate rogue Isabela (whom you may remember from The Pearl in Denerim in Origins). See her in all her knife-wielding glory:

Dragon Age 2 is being developed for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Windows PCs. The game is set to ship on March 8.

Sharkey says: Isabela was a minor character in Origins, but it's nice to see a familiar face return for Dragon Age 2. And I had to shake my head when I saw the March 8 release date at the end of the trailer. That means we'll get our hands on DA2 in just over four months. Wow. Time, she does fly.
